“We can also observe that motherhood is one of the ways that God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the strong (1 Cor 1:27). God has ordained praise from the mouths of babes and infants because of his enemies, to silence them (Ps 8:2).
A mother might not seem like a military asset, but the weak and helpless babies she brings forth are what God uses to establish his strength and silence his adversaries—not when they grow to be mighty warriors but when they voice their wordless cries, when their very lives testify that God makes life prevail over death, blessing triumph over curse, and the infant child of the woman portends doom to the ancient dragon.
God answers Satan’s defiance and disobedience with the obedient submission of a woman who does what God made her to do, helping her husband to multiply, fill, and subdue the earth, and she does that by bearing children. By means of motherhood, God answers Satan’s boasts with the baby’s cry. God answers Satan’s pride with the humble child.”
